Back then, it was all about function: Lockets, by design, had small cubbies that could carry any number of personal protections: Good luck charms, perfume diffusers, poison, portraits of your mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, Queen Elizabeth I wore a locket ring with a hand-painted miniature picture of her mother on one side. With elaborate artistry and flair, the Elizabethans turned superstitious amulets into fashion. And the rest is history.\u2028\u2028Lockets we think of today are simpler. Made from silver or gold, they might be varnished with age and contain a faded-out film photograph of a loved one\u2014a solider out to war, a beloved daughter, a mother. These are 40\u2019s and 50\u2019s-era lockets, with a particularly potent nostalgia to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leaf through an antique shop, and you might find one that still contains a tiny love letter, a lock of hair, or a photograph. It tells a story you can\u2019t help but be curious about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therein lies the lasting appeal of the heartfelt locket. No other heirloom can tell a story across generations quite like it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It singles out the subjects of the portraits as uniquely loved\u2014whether children, adults, even or man\u2019s best friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that\u2019s something a phone screen could simply never do.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large image-768\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"792\" height=\"380\" src=\"https:\/\/shinola-wordpress.imgix.net\/2022\/04\/01-two-images.png?auto=format&fit=scale&h=491&ixlib=php-3.3.0&w=1024&wpsize=large\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5368\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shinola-wordpress.imgix.net\/2022\/04\/01-two-images.png?auto=format&amp;fit=scale&amp;h=144&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.0&amp;w=300&amp;wpsize=medium 300w, https:\/\/shinola-wordpress.imgix.net\/2022\/04\/01-two-images.png?auto=format&amp;fit=scale&amp;h=72&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.0&amp;w=150&amp;wpsize=thumbnail 150w, https:\/\/shinola-wordpress.imgix.net\/2022\/04\/01-two-images.png?auto=format&amp;fit=scale&amp;h=368&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.0&amp;w=768&amp;wpsize=medium_large 768w, https:\/\/shinola-wordpress.imgix.net\/2022\/04\/01-two-images.png?auto=format&amp;fit=crop&amp;h=935&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.0&amp;w=1024&amp;wpsize=cat-feature-mobile 1024w, https:\/\/shinola-wordpress.imgix.net\/2022\/04\/01-two-images.png?auto=format&amp;fit=scale&amp;h=737&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.0&amp;w=1536&amp;wpsize=1536x1536 1536w, https:\/\/shinola-wordpress.imgix.net\/2022\/04\/01-two-images.png?auto=format&amp;fit=scale&amp;h=983&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.0&amp;w=2048&amp;wpsize=2048x2048 2048w, https:\/\/shinola-wordpress.imgix.net\/2022\/04\/01-two-images.png?auto=format&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.0 792w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 792px) 100vw, 792px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The romantic, nostalgic appeal of locket necklaces.
